About this episode

There’s 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗘 World Cup winners on the latest episode of Stick to Rugby, brought to you by Defender, as rugby icon 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗲 𝗔𝗹𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶 is welcomed to the panel alongside Katy Daley-McLean, Phil Vickery, Scott Quinnell and Tom Shanklin. 🤩


Maggie opens up about her remarkable journey from a council estate in South London to lifting the Rugby World Cup with the Red Roses. 🌹


She reveals how being born with clubfoot became her superpower, the teacher who first pushed her into rugby, and what it was like to play at a time when women’s rugby was still fighting for recognition. 🏉


She also reflects on the highs and lows of her England career from the heartbreak of losing World Cup finals to the relief of finally winning in 2014 and the teammates and role models who inspired her along the way. 👑


Away from the pitch, Maggie discusses life after rugby, her work breaking barriers in sport, and how she’s mistaken for England captain to this day (which Katy is having none of!) 😂🧐


An honest, powerful and inspiring conversation with one of the most influential figures in rugby.


This one is NOT to be missed!
